Transfer case drop kit, Problems
I installed a 3" lift kit on my 98' cherokee sport. I now have a slight vibration problem. I tried to install a skyjacker transfer case drop kit to eliminate the vibration. I know the install is very straight forward to do, but I am having problems. I lower the crossmember a couple inches so I can get the spacer tube between frame and crossmember, but then I cannot get the crossmember holes to line up with the frame holes. The whole drive train seems to move forward and to the side some what. I have tried to aline the holes using different tools, but nothing seems to want to move much. Anyone had a similar problem? Any ideas?

I had that same problem when i put my tcase drop in. It took a lot of pulling and yanking and smacking on the crossmember. It was a pain and could only get one side bolted in for the longest time. Finally, with 2 grown men, we were able to pull hard enough to get both sides bolted in. So yeah, just forced it in basically
